Local Setup

• If you wish to run your own build, first ensure you have python3 globally installed in your computer. If not, you can get python here.

• Download pip and add it to the path

• Clone the repository

  • Using HTTPS

    git clone https://github.com/Pratyush1606/food-classification.git

  • Using SSH

    git clone git@github.com:Pratyush1606/food-classification.git

• Change your working directory to the cloned folder food-classification

  cd path/to/food-classification

• Create a new virtual environment inside food-classification directory and activate that

  python -m venv env

  NOTE
  By default, this will not include any of your existing site packages.

  For activating or deactivating virtual env, take this for reference.

• Download all the dependencies

  pip install -r requirements.txt

  Use pip3 if pip not working

• Make a .env file in this directory only and put the following

  DJANGO_SECRET_KEY = django-insecure-3a65@ycam887r2c69p=3st-_#s8k26t(-*h8@4ic_f1qo1*ow6
  DJANGO_DEBUG = True

  • While putting DEBUG = False, remember to modify ALLOWED_HOSTS (for just quick reference, modify as ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*'] )

  • For generating a Django SECRET_KEY, many different sites are there. This site can be used for quick reference.

• For SMTP Server to work, make a gmail id and put the following in the .env file

    SMTP_EMAIL = <GMAIL created above>
    SMTP_PASSWORD = <Password>

  Make sure to turn on Less secure app access in the settings.
